[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]LOCAL -Pros: close to home; smaller class size (<20); somewhat established friends/community; familiar with school admin, processes, some teachers -Cons: likely set up as cluster model (even though could have one full class of level IV AAP kids, will be separated into 2-3 classes with others principal placed level III kids; level IV kids would combine for subject specific classes like math); kid may continue to have to help others catch up, rather than being challenged to advance CENTER -Pros: likely at least 2 classes with all level IV AAP kids; AAP certified teachers -Cons: far from home; likely bigger class size (>20); different pyramid so if new friends are in different pyramids, likely will not be with them in middle/high school; unknown admin/processes/community Have not yet gone to orientation at Center, but likely to choose Center. Kid has mentioned too many times of being bored and wants a challenge. Likely will stay in local school SACC so can continue to be part of local school community and keep in touch with friends not in Center. If we don't like the Center, we always have the option to transfer back to our local base school. [/quote] Not all center teachers are AAP certified, just FYI. There are even teacher trainees in these positions. [/quote]
